Below are more tips to get everyone participating in the game to enjoy the sport. 1. Experiment with different kinds of bowling balls. Try the different weights, size, and colors until the most comfortable ball is found. Rule of thumb is: choose the ball that is most comfortable to carry and release but make sure the weight is heavy enough. It makes bowling balls seem smaller than they really are. The actual circumference of a ten-pin bowling ball is about 26 inches. The weight of a bowling ball is between 6 pounds and 16 pounds. There is a wide variation between ball weights to accommodate different physical strengths of bowlers. And to some extent, like in baseball with a baseball bat, the weight of a ball used can depend upon the skill level of the bowler. Practice makes perfect. A beginner should practice often if he would like to excel in bowling. Bowling requires the players to master many movements and styles. It is only through continuous practice that one can master the game of repetition. There may be good and bad moves in bowling, but that do not mean that a bad performance will limit a person. Shoulders Place your right arm across your chest, slightly bending it at the elbow, which should be turned away from your body. You should be able to feel the pull at the shoulder joint and sustain it for eight counts. Do the same for the other arm. Arms Take one arm and raise it above your head. Then bend it at the elbow, while your opposite arm holds it in place. In fact, most health experts say that doing warm up exercises increases the capacity of the person to withstand the activity or the game. It has been clinically proven that warm up exercises can actually boost an individual's working ability and can lessen, if not eliminate, the chances of injury. It is necessary for every bowler to do some warm up exercises since playing the game could put more strain on the player than anticipated. There are some major dos and don'ts when it comes to bowling lane etiquette. They include: Do's Get the proper gear. It is considered a major breach of bowling lane etiquette to wear street shoes on the lanes. Make sure to have on the proper shoes. Get rentals if you don't have your own. Street shoes can damage the lanes and disrupt the oil pattern on them (not to mention the fact many are not designed to handle the slick surface).
